About Sylvia

I'm a 56-year young high-energy mother of four incredibly creative, high-achieving grown children, ages 18yrs-28yrs. During COVID-19 and government-sanctioned teaching restraints, I opted not to renew my teaching contract at a local private school where I had been teaching. I created my own teaching ideology, a non-technology-based micro-school curriculum, which is more in tune with my own holistic ideals and philosophies. From 2018 through 2020 I taught primary math (ages 4. 5yrs-9yrs) and Jr. High/High School Language Arts, (ages 10yrs-18yrs). I also acted as a substitute homeroom teacher. In both of my teaching curriculums, I drew upon integrating my talents in artistic construction, origami, painting, drawing, weaving, and storytelling. Most of my students at Kino had varying learning challenges. I have found that all my students, both the academic achievers and those with challenges, thrived and progressed in the learning environment I promoted.
